Sigma Designs, Inc. announced that Telenet will deploy Comtrend Corporation's Powerline Ethernet Adapters, PG 9042s based on Sigma Designs' HomePlug AV(R) with ClearPath(TM) technology. Telenet will upgrade its previous powerline communications by using Comtrend's PG 9042s which incorporates Sigma Designs' HomePlug AV(R) with ClearPath(TM) SoC for use in their interactive digital TV services. After an evaluation process, testing multiple chip vendors' solutions with various products and technologies and extensive testing in both the Telenet labs and in the field, the long list of competitors was narrowed down to only suppliers providing Sigma Designs-based products.

Finally, the Comtrend adapter was selected due to its unique offering -- the combination of unprecedented coverage and stability, ability to manage the devices remotely via TR 069 protocol and Comtrend production and support services.
